Dear Editors:
Thank you for Tony Auth's October 12 editorial cartoon about Colorado's
Amendment 2 hearings before the Supreme Court. As Mr. Auth's cartoon so
aptly illustrated, legislation that denies equal protection to any specific
minority is a threat to us all. While your coverage of the hearings has
been excellent and thorough, we believe that such an organized attack on
America's true traditional values of equal rights, individual liberty and
protection from religious tyranny should be reported on page one.
Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom

Dear Mr. Auth:
Thank you for your October 12 editorial cartoon about Colorado's Amendment
2 hearings before the Supreme Court. Legislation that denies equal protection
to any specific minority is indeed a threat to us all. America's true
traditional values of equal rights, individual liberty and protection from
religious tyranny are suffering a well-orchestrated attack from the various
groups comprising the Radical Religious Right. Thank you for helping to
expose their agenda. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom
